FPV isn't allowed at AMA fields without buddy box, and I have a feeling they will be sticklers about FPV and helis in general. My FPV setups are actually on a tricopter and the funtana, no actual heli yet.

It's allowed for what he's asking, it wouldn't be FPV, you would be flying the aircraft line of sight and he would be "riding along from the birds eye view".

Hehe, you just need to build a depron Terminator Hunter Killer body for it then...

Afraid my Y-ufo with FPV gear is at home, so it would be even more of a trek for me to make it to Marymoore. That and the Y is setup with a forward facing camera, so I would have to jury rig a downward facing mount (not to mention Jaguar_5's FPV gear is better than mine anyways).

Still down for flying on Thursday at Marymoor. Yarden/Eron - come on out! Where you guys been flying?

Afraid trek'ing to the eastside after work for me is a bit too much. I've just been flying at local parks in west seattle and tukwila, I have a network of 3 parks I pass near on my way home, so I just stop at whichever one is empty (pretty lucky so far, I've not yet been "skunked" in my park fishing ), and as you know, when it's raining I just fly in the gym at my work .

Sorry Eric, I'm not gonna make it out tonight. Plenty of stuff to do at home. Need to finish building the Shuriken v2 (have to wait for a replacement s3115 servo though, got a defective one), need to take the YS56 out of my Knight 3D and tear that apart and inspect (had an overheating scare). Need to work on rewiring both my tricopter and Funtana for cleanliness and less RF interference on the funtana (elevator goes wild if too close to TX antenna). And that's just stuff I have to do for my RC gear lol.

Plus, Marymoor + Helis =/= fun. I'd rather fly pretty much anywhere else. The runway is amazing but having only one airplane atm, and lack of flexibility while flying, not for me. I might show my face there once or twice a season lol. I've been flying at Cascade heli club mostly. A bit of rogue park flying every once in awhile, and I'll go to 60A if / when it's open.

Oh, Chet; sorry but I accidentally stole that servo extension!! I forgot to give it back after we searched for Vitter's plane. Sorry we couldn't find it Vitter, if you like I can send you the video, it is much easier to see detail on a computer monitor than what we saw out in the field. If you scour it in slow motion you may see a flash of color or something that might be the plane.

Kai... Just sharing....

I haven't been there yet but dig this note posted on the Flaming Geyser Flyers site:

"There's an officially designated Park Flyer site in the City of SeaTac. It's under development, but open for flying Park Flyer designated airplanes and helicopters; (electric 2# or less, max 60mph); no AMA required. The site is open 7 days, FREE, and is at 3000 S. 150th St. Paved runway, setup tables, off-street parking SOON."

So if you're under the 2 pounds this might be a place for you to "Fish" from. :-).

Sweet D-Man, I'll definetly have to look into that tonight and scope it out, I live right under the SeaTac landing path from the north (in S. Seattle). Currently I'm only flying my RiccoSE (11.5oz) and Blade400 (27oz), so both of those qualify (the only aircraft I have that don't qualify are my Snipers and Eco8s at 3.5lbs ea, and my ShurikenV2 because of it's speed).

That place is only like a mile from my house, odd though, it's very close to the SeaTac landing path, and only about a few hundred yards northeast of the runways , guess I won't be flying very high there (truthfully with helis I hardly ever fly very high anyways though), I think I found it on google maps
